🇷🇺 Russia: The Orthodox Connection | People & Power

published:19 Oct 2017

Under communism the Russian Orthodox Church was suppressed - its property confiscated, its followers ridiculed, harassed and imprisoned.
But these days, a resurgent and muscular church is central to President Vladimir Putin\'s ideas of Russian identity - an echo chamber, say critics - to Kremlin policies at home and abroad.
\"Many of Putin\'s opponents believe the glowing endorsements and mutual back-slaps the Kremlin and the Orthodox Church give each other these days are contributing to ever more tightly defined social and religious conservatism, intolerant nationalism and a growing personality cult around the president,\" write filmmakers Glenn Ellis and Viktoryia Kolchyna who went to Russia investigate the relationship between Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.
\"...it seemed to us that the rise of the Russian Orthodox Church was unstoppable.\"
So what lies behind these ever closer ties? What are the implications? And after decades of suppression, how did this renaissance come about?...

Vladimir Putin\'s victory in last week\'s Russian presidential elections came as no surprise. Putin has spent much of the past two decades building an enduring and loyal following in Russia, and alliances with some of the country\'s most powerful institutions — none, perhaps, more important that the Russian Orthodox Church, which has fully embraced his leadership.
It\'s all part of a dramatic turnaround for the Church, which just 30 years ago was only a marginal force in Russian society. The Soviets had sought to stamp out organized faith, stripping religion from education, arresting clergymen, and ordering the destruction of many of Russia\'s grand cathedrals, including one, Christ the Savior, that was demolished to make room for a public pool.
But under Putin, the Church has been making a comeback. More than 70% of Russians today identify as Russian Orthodox, up from 30% at the end of the Soviet Union. And huge swaths of land have been transferred back to religious ownership, with thousands of new churches being built or restored -- at a rate of almost three a day, by church figures. And Putin, by building loyalty among the leaders of a cherished institution, has arguably been the greatest beneficiary of this largesse.
VICE News Tonight went to Moscow to ask Church leaders, and experts on the role of religion in society, how the church\'s resurrection has played into Putin\'s gambit for everlasting power.

Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has blessed newly sworn-in President Vladimir Putin in the 15th-century Annunciation Cathedral.
The Patriarch performed a prayer service at the cathedral, considered the jewel of Russian architecture. One of the greatest medieval churches in the Russian capital, it once served as a private church of the Muscovite monarchs.
After the prayer, the patriarch addressed the head of state on behalf of all clergy and believers, saying that all of these people supported Putin because they see him as “a leader who, apart from successfully managing the country, is also a person devoted to his motherland.”

An automated future where the robots have stolen human jobs is a widespread modern concern. Even the most traditional of professions can be vulnerable, for example, church bell ringing in Russia.
For time immemorial Russia\'s Orthodox faithful have been called by the ringing of bells, but while many churches have been built in Russia recently, the ranks of professionally trained bell ringers remain depleted by the officially atheist Soviet era.
Al Jazeera\'s Rory Challands reports now on how a recent expansion of the Orthodox Church has created a skills shortage that is being filled by machines.
